A86586 An exercitation concerning the nature of forgivenesse of sin. Very necessary (as the author humbly conceiveth) to a right informaion [sic], and well grounded decision of sundry controversal points in divinity now depending. Directly intended as an antidote for preventing the danger of antinomian doctrine. And consequently subservient for promoting the true faith of Christ and fear of God, in a godly righteous, and sober life. / By Thomas Hotchkis, Master of Arts of C.C.C.C. and minister of Gods word at Stanton by Highworth in the county of Wilts. To which is prefixed Mr. Richard Baxters preface. Hotchkis, Thomas.; Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691. 1654 (1654) Wing H2891; Thomason E1518_1; Thomason E1632_1; ESTC R208563 133,342 405

we_o minister_n nevertheless_o i_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o at_o this_o time_n to_o enumerate_v all_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o but_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o name_n only_o this_o one_o as_o be_v sufficient_a for_o my_o present_a purpose_n viz_o the_o condition_n which_o god_n require_v of_o man_n in_o both_o these_o covenant_n be_v very_o different_a the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v perfection_n of_o obedience_n or_o the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v faith_n in_o christ_n repentance_n and_o sincerity_n of_o obedience_n now_o as_o adam_n be_v to_o do_v or_o perform_v the_o former_a condition_n or_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o former_a covenant_n for_o life_n so_o be_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o latter_a condition_n or_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o latter_a covenant_n for_o life_n also_o shall_v we_o go_v about_o to_o set_v up_o the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o salvation_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n work_n for_o salvation_n this_o indeed_o be_v legal_a work_n and_o to_o work_v as_o legalist_n or_o shall_v we_o expect_v salvation_n as_o merit_a wage_n for_o our_o work_n this_o be_v to_o work_v legal_o but_o to_o labour_v by_o his_o strength_n to_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o believe_v repent_v to_o return_v unto_o and_o to_o keep_v with_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o new_a obedience_n that_o so_o we_o may_v live_v and_o to_o expect_v from_o god_n free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v live_v this_o be_v to_o work_v as_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n object_n but_o be_v it_o not_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v people_n trust_v unto_o or_o to_o rest_v in_o their_o own_o good_a work_n or_o duty_n to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o may_v do_v they_o for_o salvation_n answ_n 1._o i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n answer_v this_o question_n with_o two_o or_o three_o other_o question_n 1_o be_v it_o not_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v people_n to_o cast_v off_o the_o do_n of_o all_o good_a duty_n and_o good_a work_n to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o ought_v not_o need_v not_o to_o do_v they_o for_o salvation_n 2_o be_v not_o the_o danger_n as_o common_a and_o great_a this_o way_n as_o that_o or_o be_v it_o not_o as_o dangerous_a to_o think_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n without_o the_o do_n of_o good_a as_o by_o rest_v on_o the_o good_a we_o do_v be_v it_o not_o as_o ordinary_a for_o people_n to_o perish_v for_o barrenness_n as_o for_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o themselves_o 3_o whether_o be_v it_o not_o fit_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o instruct_v people_n how_o far_o forth_o they_o may_v and_o how_o far_o forth_o they_o may_v not_o trust_v in_o and_o rest_n upon_o their_o own_o duty_n grace_n work_n or_o holiness_n for_o salvation_n then_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v any_o good_a duty_n for_o salvation_n as_o this_o latter_a be_v a_o thing_n unlawful_a so_o the_o former_a be_v a_o thing_n i_o be_o well_o assure_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o also_o expedient_a and_o necessary_a in_o order_n therefore_o thereunto_o be_v it_o know_v 1._o in_o general_n that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o trust_v unto_o or_o rest_n upon_o our_o own_o good_a work_n duty_n or_o grace_n for_o salvation_n in_o any_o such_o sort_n as_o christ_n alone_o and_o his_o righteousness_n be_v to_o be_v trust_v unto_o or_o rest_v upon_o 2._o more_o particular_o be_v it_o know_v 1._o that_o we_o may_v not_o trust_v unto_o or_o rest_n in_o they_o as_o our_o legal_a righteousness_n i._n e._n such_o as_o for_o which_o the_o law_n of_o work_n will_v pronounce_v we_o righteous_a or_o as_o any_o part_n of_o our_o legal_a righteousness_n in_o conjunction_n with_o christ_n 2._o consequent_o hereupon_o we_o may_v not_o rest_v in_o they_o as_o thing_n that_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o exact_o commensurate_a or_o answerable_a to_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n 3._o not_o as_o thing_n by_o which_o god_n justice_n be_v satisfy_v his_o wrath_n pacify_v or_o by_o which_o we_o make_v he_o a_o amends_o for_o breach_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n 4._o consequent_o hereupon_o not_o as_o thing_n whereby_o in_o any_o strict_a or_o proper_a sense_n we_o do_v merit_v salvation_n we_o have_v indeed_o no_o work_n formal_o we_o which_o do_v make_v the_o reward_n to_o be_v of_o debt_n and_o not_o of_o grace_n in_o these_o respect_v we_o be_v to_o disclaim_v all_o our_o own_o work_n duty_n grace_n holiness_n and_o to_o trust_v unto_o or_o rest_n upon_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n whole_o and_o sole_o 2_o but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n be_v it_o know_v 1_o in_o general_n that_o because_o christ_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v rest_v upon_o for_o salvation_n in_o the_o foresay_a respect_n we_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o we_o may_v can_v or_o aught_o in_o no_o sense_n to_o rest_v in_o our_o own_o good_a work_n or_o duty_n for_o salvation_n than_o we_o can_v conclude_v that_o because_o christ_n alone_o do_v save_v we_o therefore_o it_o may_v not_o can_v not_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v say_v in_o any_o sense_n that_o we_o do_v save_v ourselves_o which_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o frequent_a language_n of_o scripture_n 2_o more_o particular_o be_v it_o know_v 1._o that_o we_o may_v rest_v in_o or_o trust_v unto_o our_o own_o good_a work_n duty_n
